Build a 2D physics simulation of numbered balls inside a rotating heptagon on a canvas. Use HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as needed. Write it to `index.html` in the current working directory using your file tools. Inline your own CSS and JavaScript. Do not use external assets, CDNs, or network requests. No third-party libraries are provided. Required behavior: - Show exactly 20 balls numbered 1 through 20. Initially place them in a compact, non-overlapping arrangement near the enclosure center and let them fall under gravity. - Rotate the heptagon at a constant rate of one revolution every five seconds. Keep it fully visible. - Implement ball-ball and ball-wall collision detection yourself, without a physics library. Account for moving-wall velocity in bounce response, and include damping or friction. - Give each ball angular motion and rotate its number with the ball so spin is visible. - Choose reasonable sizes and physical constants that keep the simulation stable: balls remain contained and do not persistently overlap or gain unbounded speed. - Provide Pause/Resume and Reset. Reset restores the initial ball arrangement and wall orientation. Verify: Sample several moments of the initial fall and collisions. Check that the enclosure rotates, visible ball contacts produce bounce responses, and the numbers rotate with the balls. Use Reset and compare the restored arrangement and wall orientation with the initial view.

Initial arrangement looks good. Check motion after a couple of seconds, then reset.
Initial arrangement looks correct. Now sample mid-fall and after collisions.

Looks good: rotation, collisions, contained balls, numbers rotated (visible sideways numbers). Test Reset restores orientation.
Rotation, containment, and collisions all look correct. Numbers visibly rotated (e.g., "10" sideways). Now test Reset restores the initial arrangement and orientation.

Reset works — matches initial arrangement and orientation. Also verify pause quickly? Try Pause button and resume. Quick check.
Reset correctly restores the initial layout and wall orientation. Quick pause/resume check:

Identical frame after 100ms — paused. Resume (click again) — fine. Done.
Pause verified (frame identical after 100ms, button shows "Resume"). Everything checks out. ## Summary **`index.html`** — single self-contained file, no external assets. Implementation details: - **20 balls (r=17px)** in a compact staggered pyramid near the center, falling under gravity (g=900 px/s²). - **Heptagon** (circumradius 350, fully visible in 800×800 canvas) rotating at exactly 2π/5 rad/s = one revolution per 5 s. - **Custom physics** (no library), 4 substeps/frame: impulse-based ball–ball collisions with positional de-overlap and restitution 0.75; wall collisions against moving segments where the wall point velocity `ω × r` is subtracted before reflection (restitution 0.8), so bounces respond to the rotating wall. - **Friction** between ball–ball and ball–wall contacts transfers tangential impulse to angular velocity; balls spin (ω damped 0.995/step) and the number rotates with each ball. - **Stability**: air drag, speed cap (2500 px/s), radial containment clamp as a failsafe. Verified in browser: - Initial compact arrangement renders correctly with no overlaps. - Sampled 4 motion frames over ~1.7s: balls fall, pile and bounce off walls/each other, stay contained while the heptagon rotates; numbers clearly rotated with ball spin. - Reset restores the exact initial pyramid and wall orientation (matched screenshots). - Pause freezes the frame; button toggles to Resume. Not verified: long-run behavior over many minutes (only ~seconds observed), and precise rotation-rate calibration beyond qualitative agreement.
